The secret token : myth, obsession, and the search for the lost colony of Roanoke / Andrew Lawler. by Lawler, Andrew, author. New York : Doubleday, [2018] Subjects Roanoke Colony.   Roanoke Island (N.C.) -- History -- 16th century. ISBN:  9780385542012 (hardcover) : Description:  xx, 426 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm Edition:  First edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  "A sweeping account of America's oldest unsolved mystery, the people racing to unearth its answer, and the sobering truths--about race, gender, and immigration--exposed by the Lost Colony of Roanoke. In 1587, 115 men, women, and children arrived at Roanoke Island on the coast of North Carolina. Chartered by Queen Elizabeth I, their colony was to establish England's first foothold in the New World. But when the colony's leader, John White, returned to Roanoke from a resupply mission, his settlers were nowhere to be found. They left behind only a single clue--a "secret token" carved into a tree. Neither White nor any other European laid eyes on the colonists again. What happened to the Lost Colony of Roanoke? For four hundred years, that question has consumed historians and amateur sleuths, leading only to dead ends and hoaxes. But after a chance encounter with a British archaeologist, journalist Andrew Lawler discovered that solid answers to the mystery were within reach. He set out to unravel the enigma of the lost settlers, accompanying competing researchers, each hoping to be the first to solve its riddle. In the course of his journey, Lawler encounters a host of characters obsessed with the colonists and their fate, and he determines why the Lost Colony continues to haunt our national consciousness. Thrilling and absorbing, The Secret Token offers a new understanding not just of the first English settlement in the New World but of how its disappearance continues to define--and divide--America."--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 Lawler Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 975.6175 La Checked In Add Copy to MyList
